Key Stats: New coaching staff, not sure what to put.

2019 Offensive Outlook: We return 9 starters but will be learning a new offense and will need the defense to keep us in the game early in the season. We need to be able to throw the ball consistently and control the LOS. We will also need some of the younger players to step up and play.

2019 Defensive Outlook: We return 9 starters on defense. Some positions may have changed but they are a seasoned group who will need to step up early in the season.

2019 Special Teams Outlook: Focus on the kicking game. We return our punter and long snapper but need to develop a solid kicking game that is consistent.
